Elemental Shaman Simulation Compilation - Battle for Azeroth 8.1

Sims Intro\rWelcome to Wowhead's Elemental Shaman Simulations page for Tides of Vengeance, Battle for Azeroth's first content patch! This page serves as a compilation of the information used to support the choices and recommendations used throughout this guide. As usual with this type of information, simulations are subject to variance based on input, so we invite you to do your own simulations through SimulationCraft or Raidbots using your own gear to get the best individual results for your character.\r\rCurrently, these simulations have been made to reflect the best pre-raid gear from dungeons available before the release of Uldir. To learn more about what gear to prioritize, reference the Elemental Shaman Gear and Stats guides.\r\rOur guides are always updated with the latest information from in-game experience, simulations, and logs; make sure to check our changelog to this page, by clicking on View Changelog at the top of the page.

Feel free to bug me through Discord in Earthshrine or Twitter if you have any questions!\r\r\r\r\r\r\rThis guide exists as a repository for the simulation screenshots (and their source sims) that exist throughout the guide. There are currently 4 simulation sets placed in the guide as a reference:\r\rRacial sims\r\r\r\rSingle-Target\r\r\r\rIt's worth noting that for single-target, a few of our stronger powers are weaker for their 2nd and 3rd power than they are for their first power. This is most noticebly true for Potencial ígneo & Resonancia ancestral Both of them are significantly weaker for their 2nd point than for their 1st point. Potencial ígneo keeps the same power level for points 2 & 3, but Resonancia ancestral gets even weaker for point #3 due to its interaction with our Mastery Hard-Cap.\r\rHere's AoE - It's worth noting that Resonancia ancestral only loses a little bit of its power for AoE as our AoE Mastery hard-cap is 3x higher than our single-target Mastery hard-cap\r\r\r\rTrinkets!\r\r\r\rFirst, Single-Target Talent Sims:\r\r\r\rNext, AoE Talent Sims\r\r\r\rFooter\r\r\r\rFeedback\r\rThanks for reading our class guides!
